A few boring pics of slow progress on the 59

[Willowbilly3]

Ole Henry didn't believe in wasting anything. The wood scraps from Model T's were turned into charcoal briquets and sold. They still follow his lead...left over parts are used on next years models, parts are changed mid year sometimes more than once, some parts are used forever it seems.

WB, where is the 4X4 stick? I don't see it in the pics, maybe I am overlooking it?

It was broke off and they had a piece of pipe slide over it for a lever. I found the rest of it with the correct white knob under the seat and took it out, welded it back up and re-bushed the pivot. I haven't put it back in yet because I want to remove and paint the removable chunk of floor and get new boots. Right now I'm not ordering any more new parts until I fire it up and take it around the yard to make sure everything is kinda functional.
